Reformulación de la teoría del desarrollo moral de Kohlberg realizada por Habermas
(Universidad Alberto Hurtado. Facultad de Ciencias Sociales, 2011) Martínez, David
The following article´s aim is to shed light on Habermas? reformulation of Kohlberg´s moral development theory. The main outcome of this transformation was to formulate a theory of moral development that was compatible and coherent with a general theory of society; what follows below is an account of this. Despite the relevance of this reconstruction in the theoretical formation of discourse ethics and the theory of communicative action itself, the topic has been developed exclusively in the sphere of German Sociology (Dux 1982); it has not been discussed in Spanish literature. In this sense, this article is a contribution towards a wider comprehension of the Habermasian oeuvre in our Spanish-speaking context. The paper also provides a first approach to the study of ethics in the second generation of the Frankfurt School, and it can provide assistance in conducting empirical research related to normative concerns in diverse social areas.
